Oct +5182.5 net Didn't trade while I was away on vaction (I was planning to some but didn't realize I wouldn't have an internet connection) not even a phone line, let alone high speed... (on the bright side) Gave me time to just look at all my charts and data/price indicators and have moved my scalping to a seperate account and automated it. Also have added a countertrend indicator but I didn't get executed on it today. I included my 2 trades today in my snapshot..exited early Got back on the 30th (tues) no trades Wed no trades T +245 net (1RT) F +315 net (2RT) Ps. A thanks to those who noticed I was gone as I got a few PMs and IMs wondering if I was ok.
I stopped posting daily this past month, but here's how it went. October was my best month so far. $969.29 $1,320.37 $375.57 ($449.87) $1,149.19 $2,164.82 ($1,130.99) $985.76 $1,291.74 $331.84 $1,008.10 $4,973.34 $1,378.63 $289.01 $1,439.02 $1,147.17 $1,506.62 $1,092.93 $647.91 ($78.44) $339.83 $297.81 ~$22k for the month. Nice work on all the solid numbers in this thread!
First post in this thread. After years of irresponsible trading that cost me a lot of cash, then few years of turning in circles without going no where, I took a year or so off trading and studying my weaknesses. I'm going to give it a serious try and let my profits run run... I'll be trading ES three days a week full time. Good luck to all and to me! Thursday 11/01/2007: did not trade. Friday 11/02/2007: +77$ no blotter today!
Great idea for a thread. My first post. Oct ~+3600 Mon +154 Tue +193 Wed +449 Thu +565 Fri +349 week +1710
If I may comment I think the poster is still referring to the return on your money at risk. I think you have a point that the leverage allows for a greater return over a retail account (such as myself) if successful (as i hope everyone here is), At the end of the day though, are we all not trying to get the greatest return on our own money?
